Pretty, and not so pretty

The page was slightly marred by the quote from the Royal Mail’s Head of Speical Stamps, presumably produced by the Royal Mail's Head of Special Spelling without the intervention of the Royal Mail's Head of Special (or, indeed, any) Proofreading.

And then the not-pretty. I went to pull a scarf out of the cupboard today to wear, and found this:

It's not moth; fear not. I think it must have got caught on a door-handle in the cupboard under the stairs... But it's not exactly at the end of the scarf either...

There's a good 18" to re-knit; and it's the infamous "can't count to eight" scarf, and of course it's the end with 5 tassels rather than 4...

I think I'd sew it rather than reknit it - not too difficult to do invisibly if you have some of the yarn left, and if you can't do it then send it to me and I'll mend it for you - I can't bear the thought o all that ripping and reknitting (and it's not my colours, so you'd be safe!)
